The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 159 Your words are somewhat secretive.

Facing the sea breeze and riding the waves, the Heberfeller sets sail and forges ahead.

"Charlotte, where are we going next?" Lina asked, regarding the rest of the voyage.

"Cross the Calm Belt, enter the West Blue, pass Mount Levi, and enter the first half of the Grand Line."

Charlotte began to speak.

This was a plan he had already made; he needed to collect Devil Fruits at this stage to accumulate power for the Heberfeller family.

In order to cope with the unpredictable challenges of the future, his identity as a great pirate meant that he could not continue to live a low-key life.

To achieve his ultimate goal, he had to make changes.

……

……

Two months later!

The towering red earth road, seen from afar, is shrouded in clouds and mist, adding to its mysterious charm.

The red clay cliffs and the straight, towering Levi's Mountain are like a sharp sword piercing the sky and reaching into the clouds!

The visual impact was unparalleled.

This is the entrance to the West Sea Route connecting to Mount Levi!

Mount Levi, also known as Upside Down, is an incredible and dangerous mountain, the starting point of the Grand Line.

It is the gateway to the Grand Line, which countless pirates yearn for.

It has five waterways, four of which connect to the four seas, and one of which connects to the Great Sea Route.

The four seas flow upstream against the current to the top of Mount Levi's, converge at the summit, and then flow downstream into the Grand Line.

"Boss, how do we get up there?" Beta asked Charlotte, puzzled.

"Sail up there!" Charlotte said matter-of-factly.

Huh??? Sailing? How do you climb up? This is so amazing, Beta blinked in disbelief.

Moments later, the Heberfeller rushed toward the channel at the foot of Mount Levi's.

The ocean current at the foot of the mountain flows upstream, the raging water rushing straight upwards against the direction of the mountain.

"This is truly an amazing road! Climbing it will be no problem at all!" Beta shouted excitedly, his eyes shining.

"Don't make a fuss, it's embarrassing, Beta," Barrett said, raising an eyebrow.

"It defies common sense and is definitely not scientific at all."

Charlotte thought to herself.

"Charge at ten o'clock!"

Without hesitation, the helmsman, having received the order, steered the Hibernian into the surging, massive upstream current.

Before long, the Heberfeller passed through a row of magnificent triumphal arches and successfully rode the surging ocean currents towards the mountaintop at high speed.

The howling wind, the rapidly rushing scenery, getting higher and higher, faster and faster—everything was so incredible.

"Wow! That's exciting!"

"Thailand is bitter and spicy!"

Beta and Pande's eyes lit up like stars as they excitedly waved their arms and shouted.

In a short time, the Heberfeller rushed to the mountaintop, breaking through the clouds. Golden light shone like scattered gold dust, and the clouds, illuminated by the light, took on all sorts of strange shapes. Everything was as beautiful as a dream.

"It's so beautiful!" Lina stared blankly up at the sky, her long hair flying.

The terrifying ocean currents hurled the Hippefeller high into the air, accompanied by splashes of water that shimmered with vibrant colors, before it steadily descended towards the Grand Line.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the Hippefeller landed steadily in the channel and shot off like a rocket towards the Grand Line below.

"Waaah...waaah...my pants!"

"La...la...ha...cool...!"

Beta and Pander shouted frantically, but the fierce wind relentlessly poured into their mouths, preventing them from uttering a single complete sentence.

Both of their lips trembled wildly in the air, like rubber.

"Those two guys!"

It was so embarrassing to watch; they were a complete farce.

Charlotte stared intently down below, not wanting to see the island whale Laboon. If he were to crash into it, his Hippefeller would likely perish young.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur.

The Hibernator steadily entered the Grand Line.

The group quickly arrived at their first stop, the Twin Point Lighthouse.

The lighthouse here is guarded by Crocus, the ship's doctor who will become the future Pirate King Roger.

If it weren't for Crocus's superb medical skills, Roger, who was suffering from a terminal illness, would have endured unimaginable pain, and it would have been uncertain whether he would have even been able to reach Laugh Tale.

We really should meet this doctor! It would be very important for the advancement of medical technology on Lati Island.

A voice rang out, "What are you pirates doing here? There's no treasure here!"

It's obvious without even thinking that it must be Crocus.

"We're just staying temporarily, we won't do anything, please don't worry," Charlotte said calmly.

He looked middle-aged at the moment, in his prime, but his flower-petal-like hairstyle was quite unique.

Faced with the calm Charlotte, Crocus laughed heartily, but Charlotte could sense that Crocus was very strong.

Come to think of it, if you don't have the strength to follow Luo Jie overseas, wouldn't you be asking for a beating?

"Uncle, are you all alone? It's so boring!"

As soon as Beta finished speaking, Crocus looked at him with considerable displeasure. "You look even worse than me! How am I an old man?!"

Forehead???

Beta was dumbfounded. How could it involve personal attacks? Then he roared with a ferocious expression.

"I, Heberfeller Beta, am only 17 years old! 17 years old! You bastard!"

Crocus smiled at the other person, the meaning of which was self-evident, and slowly said, "Whose fault is it if you look older than you are? I, Crocus, the guardian of the Twin Cape Lighthouse, a great doctor, would never be wrong..."

Charlotte was completely bewildered. Why did Beta change his name? And what you said was a bit too intimate!

That's quite a sharp tongue!

"You, you, you..." Beta was so angry that he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Haha, Uncle Crocus, Beta is indeed only 17 this year!"

"real?"

Crocus was somewhat surprised by Charlotte's words, not expecting her to be such a young man.

Beta puffed out his chest and glanced sideways at Crocus. "Uncle, remember to keep your eyes open in the future."

"Oh, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all!"

Crocus said calmly.

"No, this is important!"

Beta glared angrily. How could someone so young always be mistaken for an older man? This was an unbearable blow to his fragile heart.

However, Crocus completely ignored Beta's struggles.

Just then, a huge island whale burst out of the water, its mountain-like body letting out a deafening roar towards the red earth continent.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh..."

It would occasionally crash violently into the red earth continent.

"That's the world's largest island whale! What's it doing here? Why did it crash into the red earth?" Mitis asked in utter surprise.

"Sigh..." Crocus slowly began to tell the story of the island whale Laboon...

Everyone held their breath, and after listening, they looked at the island whale Labu with sympathy.

"Labu, you're so pitiful."

Barrett squinted. "The Rumbar Pirates? Never heard of them in the New World!"

Crocus looked at Barrett with surprise and a hint of sadness in his eyes, "Really?"

"Absolutely not!" Barrett said with certainty.

"That's not entirely true. The New World is vast, and the Rumbar Pirates might be somewhere around here," King chimed in.

Crocus nodded as well, but Charlotte remained silent.

The Rumbar Pirates had already met their demise in the Devil's Triangle; reality is cruel!

Laboon the island whale will never see the Rumbar Pirates return.

Unfortunately, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

And of course, there's Brook, a former member of the Rumbar Pirates, the only one who survived thanks to the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit) ability.

Fortunately, Brooke remembered their promise, and they would meet again eventually.
